What you'll do

In this welcoming workshop, you'll learn how to crochet your very own coaster, mastering fundamental stitches as you create something both beautiful and practical. Perfect for complete beginners, this activity introduces you to the gentle art of crochet in a relaxed, friendly setting.

Your instructor will begin by sharing their crochet journey and teaching approach, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported as you pick up your hook for the first time. Working at a steady pace that suits you, you'll discover how different stitches come together to create lovely patterns and textures.

Enjoy a warm cup of tea or coffee while you craft (feel free to bring your own preferred drink), and settle into the rhythmic nature of crochet. All materials are provided for your convenience, though you're welcome to bring along your own if you have specific yarns or hooks you'd like to use.

You'll learn:

How to hold your hook and yarn comfortably
Several essential beginner stitches
Reading basic crochet patterns
Tips for keeping your work neat and even

This calming creative experience will equip you with foundational crochet skills to build upon, and you'll leave with either a completed coaster or one well underway - plus the knowledge to finish it at home!

Yarn, crochet hook and ability to crochet.

I love bringing vintage fabrics back to life with embroidery and upcycling. Initially introduced to sewing and crochet by my mum and gran, I drifted away from the craft in my teens. However, later rediscovered my passion for needlework and fully embraced it.

I enjoy the playful aspects of embroidery, preferring a style that's whimsical and not overly precise. I hugely value sustainability and support local initiatives. I take discarded fabrics and transform them into something beautiful, giving them a new purpose.

I've been called eccentric, creative and fun-loving which I am all over! I love learning and teaching and feel that nothing is too weird. My workshops are not only about learning a skill, but also about connecting with others and promoting sustainability through mending.
